The form, created with Gravity Forms, uses the Google Places API for address autocomplete. The questions flow sequentially, with dropdown lists, checkboxes, weighted responses, and automatic progression to the next question. The visitor selects their vehicle or hotel from image previews.
Upon arrival, the administrator receives a pre-formatted email containing all the entered information, as well as a summary PDF.
