Spotting Parks from the plane?

I saw Six Flags Over Texas flying from Dallas. I just randomly looked and saw Titan rising above everything.
Never been able to pick out the Orlando parks - I can never get my bearings as to where I am in relation to them when I'm over the city - plus I never fly out of there, I come out of Fort Meyers, so I'm pretty far up by the time I get there.

I've seen Carowinds pretty well from above flying into Charlotte a few times. Before I even knew the park was there, I saw a roller coaster from the plane (TG:TJC).

I've also seen Cedar Point and Kennywood from the air - one trip from Pittsburgh to Chicago I saw them both and another from Pittsburgh to Seattle (that one was very hard to find Cedar Point, but I remember being all excited that I did)

In Astroworld's Case, the Astrodome makes finding it a lot easier, too :)

Well that and the fact that you are 5 minutes from landing, and at a very low altittude when you fly over Astroworld.

I saw IoA on a night-flight into Orlando back in 1999. It was easy to spot, because the Port of Entry Lighthouse was on at the time.
Last night while I was on a plane from Orlando(we stopped in New Orleans) I saw SFNO....It was VERY bright and I could easily see there skycoaster.

Six Flags Magic Mountain can be seen from most of the Bay Area/Southern California hops. SUPER tiny from 30,000'.

The Vegas strip can be seen when flying from LA to just about anywhere on the east coast. It's pretty spectacular at night.

I think the most beautiful and amazing thing I have ever seen in my life is the sunset over Las Vegas from a plane. All those purples and oranges, with the lit-up city and mountains behind it.... I couldn't stop staring.
