What Are The 7 Wonders of America?

This month, our publicly funded Canadian station CBC is discussing which do Canadians feel should be considered the "Seven Wonders of Canada". Below is a link to the nominations so far. If you like to see parts of Canada that are really beautiful, but can't be assed to go because of your now weak US dollar. ( ) Then you should take a look at some of those.

Anyways, it got me wondering, what would you guys think would be the 7 Wonders of America?

I can think of a few off the top of my head:

1. Statue of Liberty
2. The White House
3. The Petagon
4. Mt. Rushmore
5. Golden Gate Bridge
6. The Alamo
7. Yellowstone National Park
8. Mall of America
9. Disney World
10. Graceland
11. The Grand Canyon
12. Niagra Falls
13. The Gateway Arch
14. Space Needle
15. Cliff Dwellings at Mesa Verde

If there is enough interest, maybe someone can start a poll.

I've been to the Alamo. It was alright.
Been to Disney World, too. Loved it.

Thor.

Your list was pretty good, I'd only change a couple...

My top 7:
The Grand Canyon
Mount Rushmore
The Empire State Building
Hoover Dam
The Golden Gate Bridge
The Statue of Liberty
Yellowstone National Park

If I could round out the top 10...
The Alamo
Independence Hall
The Gateway Arch

My 7 would be:

Independence Hall - for it's importance to the country

The White House - home to the most powerful man in the world

Golden Gate Bridge - because it's an engineering marvel

Grand Canyon - because it's a natural wonder of the WORLD.

Niagra Falls - for it's sheer power and beauty

Yellowstone National Park - because this will be what will end America as we know it.

Disney World - because it's hard to believe man is capable of building something so large and immersive.

SUPERVOLCANO!!!1!​

Man Made Wonders:

1. Hoover Dam
2. Golden Gate Bridge
3. The Washington Monument
4. Mt. Rushmore
5. Brooklyn Bridge
6. The Gateway Arch
7. Coral Castle

Stone Mountain?

But most certainly this:

Crater Lake.

Nothing in Delaware, that's for sure.

The leaves out an obvious one

1. Nick Walczak
2. Nick Walczak
3. Nick Walczak
4. Nick Walczak
5. Nick Walczak
6. Nick Walczak
7. Nick Walczak

I'll do natural wonders

Grand Canyon
Niagara Falls
Mississippi River
Mt. Ranier
Half Dome
Alaska (the whole damn state!)
Everglades
Ehrie's penis

Meh, who says they can't claim it too? I said Mississippi River, should that be restricted just to the country with the head waters, or just to the country with the delta? (Yeah, US > CS, IMO!). Now this can be red room worthy!

On to engineering wonders:

Golden Gate bridge
California Aqueduct
L.A. freeway system
Skyscrapers
The Big Dig
Transcontinental rail road
Mrs. storm's tits

It was hoover dam or Mrs. storm's tits. I chose tits.

As for the bridges, the GG is far more impressive engineering due to the length of the span. Until very recently, it was the longest single span suspension bridge in the world. And considering when it was built, the depth of the bay where it empties into the Pacific, and the height of the bluffs from which the bridge launches, the brooklyn bridge really doesn't stand up to the test.

Giagantor... belongs to the world.


More accurately, the world... belongs to Gigantor.

There should definitley be a divide between natural wonders and man-made wonders. Two lists.

Chuck Norris.

Grand Canyon, white sands, new mexico, Niagara falls, Disney world, The interstate highway system, The great smoky mountains.

Anything totally commercial and soulless (Disney) is off my list.

Have you ever been there? Its not all that commercial and soulless at all. Its an absolute blast if you can let yourself go and be like a kid again. I know some people can't do that and are all uptight snd nitpicky and it is a shame. I would go there at least once a year if the wife was willing. I love the place.

Hoover Dam
Interstate Highway system
Statue of Liberty (thanks France!)
Silicon Valley
Constitution Hall
The Smithsonian
NORAD

Grand Canyon
Mount Ranier
Redwood National Park
Yellowstone National Park
The Great Lakes
The Mississippi River
Luray Caverns (homer vote!)

McDonalds
Starbucks
Pizza Hut
KFC
Burger King
Dominos Pizza
