Bill Tracy, even in his own time, was being recognized as a significant contributor to the amusement park industry. Outdoor Dimensional Display Co., Inc. was honored with the Fred W. Pearce Sweepstakes Trophy at the NAAPPB Convention in 1961 and 1962. The NAAPPB (National Association of Amusement Parks, Pools, and Beaches) is known today as the IAAPA (International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions). Tracy highlighted his accomplishment on the second page of the Haunted House catalog, which advertised his two-story dark ride in 1963.
