I agree with mom2rtk. The Crystal Palace is a good area to look for people unobstructed view. You do have some trees between you and the castle and the fireworks will not look centered around the castle but I still was pleased with the photos I came away with. You can set up your tripod right against the railing and no one can block your view. I got there about 30-40 min prior to the fireworks starting during MNSSHP and had no problem finding a spot for the tripod. I think there are some trash cans over there although I dont remember if there are any located for a good view if you put your tripod on top of one. You could however set your tripod up at the railing with the camera pointed thru the fence. Your perspective would be a bit lower than mine but it would still be unobstructed except for the trees. You might lose slightly more of the castle in the trees but from that distance I don't think it would be a big difference. I was using my tripod set at eye level for me which would be slightly less than 5' (I'm 5"3"). Here are two of my pictures from a few weeks ago to kind of give you an idea of perspective and view from there. Another place you can try is the opposite side of Main Street at the Noodle Station where you could also get a spot at the railing and no one can push in front of you at the last minute.
