Sounds like the challenge is to figure out the criteria - e.g. if it's based on engineering feat in it's time, it'd be Pyramids %26amp; Stonehenge 1 %26amp; 2.

But can't there be a moving wonder ?

I Saw the space shuttle launch in 1996 - a night launch, from about 4 miles away across the water. I'd got a pass into the space center %26amp; driven up from Plantation overnight to watch. That has got to be the most impressive of the "works of man" that I thin I have ever seen. Once in a lifetime type of ever. I've seen about 4 or 5 of the places on the list %26amp; they can't compare - the most impressive thing about the Sydney Opera is the superb out of this world cafe on the terrace at the back - I SAt there having lamb in batter, with English beer, during the Olympics, watching the yachting in the harbor 75F light wind - awesome.

But I've seen Nascar races, NHRA drag racing, Indy car %26amp; Superbikes - none of them can hold a candle to a shuttle launch :-)

P.S. Hoping to visit Machu Picchu, Peru in a year or so.
i barely looked at your list ...just because i wanted to have some fun with this...my seven wonders...

Niagara Falls

The great Wall of China

Amazon jungle

Canadian Rockies

The Arctic tundra

The Great Barrier Reef

Wrigley Field
It's retarted to let internet voters decide on the seven wonders.

This is my prediction for the list:

- statue of liberty

- that statue of jesus (forgot the name, but it portrays jesus and i've seen it in movies)

- mount rushmore

- hollywood

- the grand canyon

- the eiffel tower (the one in las vegas, not paris)

- the sears tower

there, u have the 7 wonders of ame... i mean. 7 wonders of the world!
