The Eleven Wonders
The Eleven Wonders is a ruined fairy theme park. It is composed of "hemispherical structures" that are constructed of "hexagonal panels welded together along the seams". The park is lit by a huge artificial crystal sun and Glo-strips. It appears in Artemis Fowl: The Opal Deception, and is infested by trolls. The theme park contains models of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World and four other monuments thought by fairy scholars to be wonders, even if humans do not count them as such. These are Abu Simbel, Borobodur, the Throne Hall at Persepolis and the Moai statues on Rapa Nui.

Famous quotes containing the words eleven and/or wonders:
“After eleven years I was composing
Love-letters again, broaching the word wife
Like a stored cask,”
—Seamus Heaney (b. 1939)
“We that are bound by vows and by promotion,
With pomp of holy sacrifice and rites,
To teach belief in good and still devotion,
To preach of heavens wonders and delights
Yet, when each of us in his own heart looks,
He finds the God there far unlike his books.”
—Fulke Greville (15541628)
