If someone were to visit your State (whichever one you choose that to be), what would be the "Seven Wonders" that one should see?
This is different than the Head of Tourism trying to promote vacationers to come visit, like a Festival or something like that. A Festival is not a "Wonder". A "Wonder" is a natural or man-made vision that one needs to see to believe.

I cant sit here and name you the "natural wonders" of Ohio, though there are certainly some interesting hiking spots, though I'd imagine its pretty similar to most every other state.
As far as man made structures, the only one that comes to mind is the Lonenbergger building (I'm sure I messed up the spelling) but was pretty cool to drive by, even having seen pictures of it before. I guess I could throw Ohio Stadium in there, big college stadiums are fairly common in each state, but until you've been inside of one, its hard to get a feel for just how big those places are.
As far as an itinerary for someone visiting that you can't find as easy or to the same scale in other states (or countries):
Entertrainment Junction (West Chester)
Kings Island (Mason)
Wright-Patt Air Force Museum (Dayton/Fairborn)
Columbus Zoo (I've seen it ranked as a top 3 zoo, I've never been)
Cedar Pointe (Sandusky)
Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame (Cleveland)
Blue Ridge Parkway
Natural Bridge
Luray Caverns
Busch Gardens
Chesapeake Bay Bridge
Shenandoah Valley
Monticello (Thomas Jefferson's home)
honorable mention: Mt. Vernon (George Washington's home)

The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change, the realist adjusts the sails.

I am not a big zoo guy but I think Cincy's is much better than Columbus. Columbus does have an association with Jack Hanna that helps bring it attention.

Off the top of my head.
Columbia River Gorge
Smith Rock
Crater Lake
Sisters
Mt. Hood
Painted Hills
Cape Meares
We're a bit smaller, but WV has:
Harper's Ferry
The Grave Creek Mound
Moundsville Penn (across the street)
Beartown (a state park that doesn't get enough attention)
The New River Gorge Bridge
Potomac Eagle (train ride through a gorge filled w/bald eagles)
Seneca Rocks
this is a mixture of personal preferences and things that just occurred to me. Some would include Cranberry Glades or Hawks Nest or Blennerhasset Island or Blackwater Canyon or the gold-leaf dome of the state capitol.
It is on the whole probable that we continually dream, but that consciousness makes such a noise that we do not hear it. Carl Jung.

Hey man I love Ohio, but its natural beauty ain't its selling point...How high up will fudge making in Mackinac rate in MI? Hmmmm???

I live in Florida now, so there is so much opportunity to be snarky here. But I'll play it straight. Mine:
Everglades
Gulf Coast white-sand beaches
Historic St. Augustine
Kennedy Space Center
Seven Mile Bridge/Overseas Highway
Orlando-area theme parks, collectively
Natural springs
Reading comprehension is not just an ability, it's a choice
Good list. I'm an hour drive away from #4, a 5-minute walk down the beach from #5, and I went to college in #6.
