I too was wondering if the "stacking" effect worked for other wonders as well for their respective categories. For example, I have a lot of local restaurants and go the Top Cook Academy which also has a 20% bonus function. If I increased the number of TCA's would it have a multiplier effect similar to the Stock Exchanges? I'm currently pursuing the SE's and transitioning businesses all over to office category when I have an upgrade opportunity, but would like confirmation about the other wonders for future reference. The coin (and the dollars for that matter - Mt. Fuji) is a necessary resource, but ultimately I would like to transition back into a town full of favorite places and looks. Yes, stacking applies. However SE is commonly used as it requires 30,000 coins. Others such as TCA requires 45 bucks, which is harder to come by. If you have bucks, buy a Pyramid and Wonders are build instantly. So, stacking takes into effect immediately.

Big Ben's boost to build 25% faster does not mean simply add them up: 25+25+25+25 = 100% for immediate building of an item. Rather, it works incrementally: using an example of an item that normally takes 24 hours to build:
1 Big Ben, 24 hours will be reduced to 18 hours
2 Big Bens, 18 hours will be reduced to 13.5 hours
3 Big Bens, 13.5 hours will be reduced to about 10 hours
4 Big Bens, 10 hours will be reduced to 7.5 hours
That should answer your question.

I thought it would be nice to know the plot sizes. These are the ones I have in my town:
Top Cook Academy: 5x5 Cathedral: 5x5 Stock Exchange: 3x3 Retail Mall: 3x3 Mt. Fuji: 4x4 Playbunny Mansion: 5x5 Intergalactic Spaceport: 3x3
(and correct me if these are not correct). If they are listed elsewhere in the forum, send me the thread please!

FYI - Stock Exchange has been removed in the latest update - 2.3.1.35.126 Wow! That's a game changer.

In my opinion it comes down to whether you like the looks of it and have room for it in your town. If so then buy it. When I build a wonder, I'm usually impatient and spend the $5 to finish it now. You would have to be planning to build a lot of wonders for it to justify it's $100 price tag. If you are stacking mega-malls or something else then maybe it would make sense. Otherwise it comes down to the individual mayor's desire to have Pyramids in their town.

matthew131: I agree with cmeister. I do own the Pyramids because originally, I was hoping it will be useful as new Wonders are added. As it turned out, rarely are new Wonders made available so the costly Pyramids, in hindsight, was a waste. But if you want one of everything, then buy it. Keep in mind it has limited use, doesn't have any animation. and takes up a lot of valuable land.

Stock Exchanges reinstated with V 2.4.0 App Updated 05/15/12 But the stacking calculation has drastically changed. Important: Read Solsville's STOCK EXCHANGE: NEW MATH

Spaceports still COMPOUND. I just tested it and they still use the old math.

But space ports don't help in the $$ dept in anyway, right?

Right, they just add to your town's total population count.

can anyone tell me if you can combine Notre Dames with Sky Cathedral for the same "stacking" effect, i have 5 NDs and thought when i can afford another Wonder i might go for the cathedral to add some different flavour

Ebbanizer the sky cathedral will certainly give you a percentage but it won't compound the amount - the snow globes compound! So if you have managed to win any of them they are good! Raven 29067906
