Could Kings Island launch its own pin trading program inspired by Disney? In this episode of Tower Topics, Don Helbig and Ryan Suhr explore how Disney’s wildly popular pin trading culture became a guest favorite and discuss whether a similar collectible pin program could thrive at Kings Island. From limited-edition ride pins, event-exclusive releases, and anniversary collectibles to guest interaction, merchandise sales, and creating a stronger collector community, they break down the potential benefits and challenges of bringing pin trading to the park. Could exclusive pins for Phantom Theater: Opening Nightmare, WinterFest, Haunt, Food & Wine Festival, and major attraction anniversaries become the next must-have collectibles for Kings Island fans? Join the conversation as they examine how a pin trading program could enhance the guest experience, boost merchandise revenue, and add a whole new level of engagement for coaster enthusiasts and park visitors alike.
