Story

Arianne did the research on this activity, and we had a great time. She and Anthony went to a different vortex and said that the other one was a lot better, but we still had a fun time. The illusions were mediocre but our tour guide was crazy into it, and that made it very entertaining. She was doubletalking like you wouldn't believe. The best part was the reaction from one of the other tourists in our group. He was from Australia and he kept looking around like "Is she serious? You guys aren't buying into this, are you?"
