As for the best spot, im still working on that. Yes, Tink still flies down.
There is a such thing as Too close. If you are right in front of the castle, or anwhere in front of the statue, You will miss most of the aerial shells - the castle blocks them but the low level effects are great.
On the other hand, if youre at the end of MSUSA by the train station, you see all the great aerial shells but few of the awesome castle effects, because of the buildings at the end of the street. Viewing from inside the train station doesnt help much, because you arent high enough.
People have said that right as soon as you get past caseys and the bakery, you have excellent viewing spots. Of course you have the odd tree here and there. It looks like dead smack center on the bridge is going to be the perfect spot. Good luck staking that out, thats where Kodak has their lil meet n greet photogs set up....
As i was scouting locations for photos on my way out, i might have found a spot that works.
Also, i ran into a South African family who recommended that the edge of the smoking area in front of the plaza resturant allows a great, seated view. I looked and if you can live with a few trees in the way, seems pretty nifty.
All in all, Expect the show to be packed even more than FitS was.
