We watched it from in front of California Screamin'. The view of the fountains was excellent, but we couldn't see the projection screens at all. We could see the side of some of the projection domes. The parts of the show that are focused on the screens were pretty slow (nothing much for us to see), but if you already know the show it's fine, and it's actually interesting to see the fountains from a different side - I thought it was a much better perspective on what the fountains themselves are doing. If it's your first time seeing the show you should go for the viewing area, though.
