Some people would say the 'Giant's causeway' in N.Ireland. I've seen it and while it's geologically interesting, it's not really all that big.
As someone once said, "It's worth seeing, but not worth going to see". I would say the same of Hadrian's wall which is interesting from a historical point of view, but little of it remains intact.

well stonehenge is the biggest waste of time IMO

Vermilion Cliffs National Monument - Arizona USA​

The Vermilion Cliffs National Monument is a sea of brilliant rock formations, on the border of Utah, located on the Colorado Plateau in Northeastern Arizona. It includes the Paria Canyon-Vermilion Cliffs Wilderness. The Monument borders Kaibab National Forest to the west and Glen Canyon National Recreation Area to the east. The 3,000-foot escarpment of the Vermilion Cliffs reveals seven major geologic formations in layer-cake fashion. This remote, unspoiled 294,000-acre national monument is a geologic treasure of towering cliffs, deep canyons, and spectacular sandstone formations. It’s a pretty fitting name, don’t you think? To me, it sounds like an alien planet. It even looks like one. The famous Wave sandstone formation is located here too, making it an incredibly photogenic and popular place. Absolutely breathtaking. Arizona Sunsets are just spectacular!

Niagara Falls

I once visited Niagara Falls, and way quite impressed.

However by coincidence I was at Iguazu Falls just 2 weeks later. No comparison, Iguazu is much larger and more impressive.

Parameters	Victoria Falls	Victoria Falls	Niagara Falls	Niagara Falls	Iguazu Falls	Iguazu Falls
Height in meters and feet​	108 m	360 ft	51 m	167 ft	64–82 m	210–269 ft
Width in meters and feet​	1,708 m	5,604 ft	1,203 m	3,947 ft	2,700 m	8,858 ft
Flow rate units (vol/s)​	m3/s	cu ft/s	m3/s	cu ft/s	m3/s	cu ft/s
Mean annual flow rate​	1,088	38,430	2,407	85,000	1,746	61,600
Highest recorded flow​	12,800	452,000	6,800	240,000	45,700	1,614,000
Notes: Iguazu has two drops; height given for biggest drop and total height. 10 falls have greater or equal flow rates, but are not as high as Iguazu and Victoria Falls

I saw Iguazu during a record El Nino event, very high flow. Niagara was average. Never seen Victoria.

I had a business trip to Buenos Aries, and made the mistake of planning a side trip to Iguazu looking at a globe. It was a very hard 2 day drive each way. But well worth it. Next time I fly...

7 Wonders of the world what would you put in, in the modern world ?​

Easy

The hand held shower head

Worthy of the Nobel

If everyone had one, mornings would be bliss filled
There'd be peace throughout the world

When we went to Niagara in the 1960s the American falls was shut off for repairs.

I grew up near Weeki Wachee Springs, Florida. Had an underwater theater for watching mermaid shows. It was a bit of a tourist trap.

There were billboards all over the state advertising it with an endorsement from Arthur Godfrey, calling it the "a Wonder of the World"

Not sure that it was, but still a kind of interesting place. It's a state park today, the theater is still open and they still do the mermaid shows. Billboards are long gone, as are the claims of being a Wonder of the World.

I went there as a child also! Add to that, the Cypress Gardens ski show.

Add to that, the Cypress Gardens ski show

Isn't that Legoland today?

Sad turn of events.

"THE NAZCA LINES ARE LEGENDARY. Stretching across nearly 200 square miles of high arid plateau, these drawings of hundreds of figures range from giant spiders to vast geometric shapes, to enormous monkeys as large as 890 feet (roughly two and a half football fields). Hummingbirds, fish, sharks or orcas, llamas, and lizards—and, according to some, astronauts, aliens, and landing zones—are all depicted in these enormous line drawings.

One of the most tantalizingly mysterious archeological sites, these geoglyphs have spawned wild theories about the ancient Peruvian peoples that made them. One significant reason there is so much interest in the drawings: they can only be fully seen from a few hundred feet in the air, meaning that the people who created them never would have had a way to see them in full… unless, of course, you believe they did.

to be honest, I can't say much as you others, you have traveled the world. The most beautiful thing I have seen is Lake Tahoe in the winter. A brilliant blue gemstones surrounder by white snow covered mountains
