Knott's Berry Farm rocks in the New Year with a special ticket contemporary Christian entertainment celebration including top musical headliners performing throughout the theme park.

Praise 2005 combines a night of famous Knott's attractions such as Xcelerator(SM) and GhostRider with the biggest names in contemporary Christian music. December 31 headliners include Jeremy Camp, Salvador, Pillar, Building 249, Seventh Day Slumber, Hawk Nelson and comedians Thor Ramsey & Ron McGehee.

Jeremy Camp, whose career includes a phenomenal run of six number one smashes from Stay, plus 2004 Dove Awards for "Male Vocalist of the Year" and "New Artist of the Year", will be performing music from his most personal record to date, Restored.

Dove Award winning band, Salvador, will be performing songs from their new album So Natural. Their single "Heaven" has charged up Christian radio charts where it continues to be one of the most added singles every week.

This year's partygoers will have an extra reason to celebrate as they ring in the New Year aboard Silver Bullet, Knott's new $16 million dollar suspended coaster. This western-themed coaster sends riders climbing to a height of 146 feet and soaring back down an initial drop of 109 feet. Riders spiral, corkscrew, fly into a cobra roll, and experience overbanked curves. Overall, riders find themselves upside down six times including one vertical loop of 105 feet!

Adding to the New Year's Eve festivities will be a spectacular Midnight fireworks celebration.
