Your physical pins

My Collection

Add pins and copies

Open a catalog pin and add it to your collection. Record how many copies you own, whether you want it or can trade it, and whether other collectors can see it. Manage the whole binder from My Collection.

Sort, favorites, and bulk changes

In My Collection, sort by favorite, park, name, release year, or date collected. Mark favorites or select several pins to update visibility, dates, favorites, or remove them together.

Memories and personal photos

Open Memories & photos to keep a private park visit journal, attach the pins from a trip, and add photos of your own pins, packaging, or displays.

Share or embed a collection

Use Sharing & showcase to copy your collection link and QR code, create an expiring private link, embed public pins on your website, and tell the story of your first pin.

Print pin labels

Choose owned pins in Print labels, then print names and QR codes that open their catalog pages.

Virtual Pin Board

Open the separate Virtual Pin Board to arrange, rotate, and share a planned physical pin display. Choose a larger board for more room, lock it for View mode, and see the pin count. Add a pin more than once if you own multiple copies.

Explore the archive

Find pins

Search the catalog

Use Discover to search by pin name or ID and filter the archive. Each pin page has photos, details, and related pins with similar descriptions.

Brands and pin sets

Pin pages can show a brand or set and which pins belong with it. Related pins suggest other catalog pins with similar details.

Discovery quiz and saved searches

Open Discover & saved searches to answer a park, ride, and style quiz. Save a search to see new catalog matches and receive alerts.

At the park

Parks & shops

Find pin shops

Open a park and choose its pin shop map. Browse reviewed shop locations and select a shop to see pins collectors spotted there.

Walking directions in AmusementPins

Select a shop, tap Walking directions, and allow location. The route and turn instructions appear on the AmusementPins map. Park paths may be incomplete, so follow signs and closures on site.

Pin availability reports

On the shop map, check dated reports showing whether a pin was available or sold out. Share what you saw; reports appear after review, and shop stock can change.

Follow parks and help the archive

Follow favorite parks from Account settings for alerts about newly approved pins. Park pages also show archive gaps where photos or details are needed.

Physical pins

AmusementPins Store

Browse store listings

Visit the AmusementPins Store for AmusementPins merchandise. Each product has its own photos, description, price, and availability.

Add a pin to your collection

Open a Store product and choose Add to my collection. You can then place its image on your Virtual Pin Board.

Vote in a listing poll

Some listings have polls. Anyone can vote in an open poll marked Everyone can vote; other polls require an account. You can change your vote while the poll stays open.

Checkout

Checkout will open when AmusementPins starts selling pins and payment setup is complete. Physical orders will ship to US addresses with the flat shipping charge shown on the listing.

Your account

Friends, settings & privacy

Friends and collection comparison

Find your friend code in Account settings. Send or accept friend requests, then compare collections to see which pins you both own.

Email login codes

Turn on email login codes in Account settings to require a six-digit email code each time you sign in.

Accessibility and appearance

Use Account settings to change text size, reduce animation, increase contrast, and choose a light or dark appearance.

My Submissions

Open My Submissions from My Collection to review what you sent to the site and request an edit or removal.

Digital collecting

Marketplace & Virtual Pins

What is a Virtual Pin?

A Virtual Pin is a digital collectible linked to a catalog pin. It is separate from the physical pin and appears in the Virtual Pins section of My Collection.

Buy and manage Virtual Pins

Browse releases and collector listings in the Marketplace. Your Virtual Pins are listed in My Collection; open the Marketplace to manage resale listings and trades.

Serials, resale, and trades

Each copy keeps its permanent serial when sold or traded. A resale transfers that exact copy; a pin-for-pin trade transfers copies only after the other collector accepts.

AP Points

Approved eligible contributions and completed resale sales can earn Points. Spend Points on eligible primary releases or resale listings.

Build a better archive

Contribute

Submit a missing pin

Choose Submit a Pin, select its park, enter what you know, and upload a clear photo. The submission goes through review before appearing publicly.

Suggest an edit

Open a pin and choose Suggest an Edit if its name, date, description, park, or another detail needs correction.

Fill archive gaps

Check a park?s archive progress to find pins that still need a photo or more information, then submit what you know.

Shop sightings

Suggest a missing pin shop on its park map or report a pin's availability at an existing shop. These reports are reviewed before publication.
