Part of Midtown will be blocked, but nonetheless, St.George has an amazing view, and that exact location is the best because the ESB is visible to the left of downtown. A few blocks East of there, and it's blocked.

I took this picture from pretty much the same location as the wheel will be, just 40 feet or so back on Richmond Terrace. Obviously, without a visible WTC#1&4, it was taken over a year ago.

You should be able to see more of midtown as you get near the top of the loop.
