Actually, if there are two showings of F! I would suggest the second showing. If you have someone who can be assertive without being an ass (and who doesn't mind seeing the end of the show before the rest of it), here's the plan:
Time a walk along the edge of the walkway behind front and center so that you arrive about 2 minutes B4 the end of the show (any sooner and they will make you keep walking. Sidle to the back edge of the standing crowd once the ropes have been removed.
As soon as the show is over, start making your way up to front and center. People will still be picking up their blankets, kids and (hopefully) trash. You will want to get up to the railing as quick as possible to stake your claim.
If fireworks are going right after the first F! viewing, you will need to modify your plans to accomodate.
That way, your wait is only about 1.5 hours.
Another thought is that you can show up very little amount of time (10 minutes) before the 2nd show and go around to the area behind the TSI dock. I've been able to get last minute standing room there.
Lastly, if it is a busy Friday or Saturday night in later December, they may add a third show. That, however, is a crap shoot as they don't announce it in advance - usually just late in the day.
ETA: never mind my comment about "December": it appears I can't read. I doubt there will be a third show on a late October Sunday night.
