Using this map of wonders.
It's clear there needs to be more wonders from the Americas, Africa, Middle East, and Asia. In other words, anywhere that isn't Europe.
North America wonders:
Monks Mound: From the largest city in pre-Columbian America north of Mexico, Cahokia
Cliff palace: Part of the Pueblan city of Mesa Verde
Hollywood: If Broadway is in, I don't see a problem with Hollywood.
Mt. Rushmore: One of the iconic wonders of the US, along with the Statue of Liberty.
Nazca Lines: Ancient structures that shapes are only visible from space? Awesome!
Panama Canal: This could be the canal improvement everyone is looking for. Maybe, when selecting the wonder, you can select tiles (in a straight line) you want ships to be able to travel through and the construction time depends on how many tiles you selected.
Africa/Middle East:
Dome of the Rock: Holy place to three major religions.
Kaaba: Brings lots of tourists to Makkah and is very sacred for Islam.
Temple of Solomon: I'm starting to think religion exclusive wonders to make you really think about which religion you should choose.
Göbekli Tepe: A monument like Stonehenge that predates agriculture.
Sphinx: I'm suprised this isn't already a wonder.
Great Zimbabwe: Since I don't see Zimbabwe getting into the game, we can at least put their capital as a wonder. It was the largest stone city south of the Sahara.
Europe: (Yes, I said we had enough Europe wonders, but there is still a few I'd like to see)
Global Seed Vault: Stores seeds in case something happens to our current supply.
Flavin Amphitheatre: It's
the colosseum.
Channel Tunnel: Could be like my Panama Canal idea, but allows land units to move across water without embarking.
Asia:
Banaue Rice Terraces: Of course
Leshan Giant Buddha: Largest pre-modern statue in the world. Plus, it's just amazingly beautiful.
Goddess of Democracy: 10 meter tall statue created during the Tiananmen Square protests to rally the protestors. The original was destroyed after 10 days, but many replicas have been made.
Juche Tower: Would make for a good Autocracy exclusive wonder
And... I'm out of ideas! What do all of you think?
