I was thinking the platform for Space as well. The concern with Innoventions is that if it flies behind it, you're SOL.

Susan and I are toying with the idea of getting up at an ungodly hour to drive to the Palmdale/Lancaster area to watch the morning fly-over then coming back to watch the fly-over at Disneyland.

Silly rabbit. It's just flying over Disneyland not landing there.

It's not nice to change my post when you quote it.

In looking at the timing, we decided against going to Palmdale. We figured we wouldn't get out until about 8:00; even with a perfect drive with no traffic (!), we wouldn't get to D-Land until 10:00 and that is cutting it too close. Based on everything I've heard, I predict that the D-Land flyover will be around 10:30, so there would be NO margin of error.

I think the Main Street DLRR station is too small of a space, especially since it is right at the entrance.

Another possible viewing spot might be the Monorail loading deck, except the roof might be in the way.

Since the usual landing approach to LAX is iand I'm wondering if the flight down the coast continues past Malibu down to Huntington Beach since the queen Mary and the Seal Beach & Huntington Beach Boeing plants are on the itinerary. In that case, it may head inland to Disneyland and hit the other inland LA landmarks on its landing approach.

I'm thinking either the Getty or Griffith Observatory would be awsome sights to see it work it's way through the LA basin. I also think the roof of Mickey and friends is probably the best view at the park since from there you can also see the Getty and Hollywood sign.

From what I heard on the news, the route is as noted in my post above. Also, they can't really fly down the coast past LAX as it would interrupt the normal flight patterns.

NASA says they have not released exact times or flight paths for security reasons. I think flights will be interrupted anyway from several airports in the area.
