They were ok I guess but they didn't fill me with awe in the same way as catching a glimpse of Stonehenge whilst whizzing past on the A303. I’ve only been to the Colosseum and the Eiffel Tower.

No rollercoasters I note, which makes the whole competition suspect to me. I reckon the SoL gets the nod cos its actually French!

I've been to three and a half (in so far as I've seen the Statue of Liberty in the distance). The camp German castle is a bit of a wild card, there. I'm guessing the Statue of Liberty is considered more universal than Mt Rushmore. The Empire State Building would have been better than either.

The Acropolis didn't get into the first seven wonders of the world, it doesn't deserve to get in this one! Handily I have been to seven of these wonders, so they would be the ones I would pick! (For US, surely Mt Rushmore fits better?) Bah, no giant Kim Jong Il statutes, or Iranian scimitar arches.
