In a press release, PepsiCo called the experience, Pepsi Pop Star, a "first-of-its-kind." The attraction will open on July 30 and will inhabit a 2,500 square foot space in the Kissing Tower area of the park. The destination was designed by the Pepsi design team in collaboration with the agency Jam3.

Rach Prowler, Sr. Manager of Marketing, PBNA North Division, said, "For decades, music has been an integral part of Pepsi that our fans know and love from the Super Bowl Halftime Show to star-powered brand partnerships. With Pepsi Pop Star, we're passing the star power to them by giving park guests the chance to be their unapologetic selves center stage. Hersheypark has always been a great partner to us and we were excited to collaborate on this unique fan experience."
