In my opinion, Sydney is on a higher level, it is very easy to concentrate on launching fireworks from a single focus, the London Eye (although this year also from the Big Ben). But I think it's more spectacular to use 6 large barges in the harbour, and also the skyscrapers and the Harbour Bridge as an stage. Visually London generates more power at one point, but Sydney is an 360º overwhelming show ... Personally I think it is too early to raise London to the throne of the NYE

You people can say the fireworks are better, but the display, scenery, and the atmosphere of 1.5million people surrounding the harbour, London and it's boring ass Eye of Boredom aint got shit on that

Sydney likes to big itself up being the best NYE in the world with its fireworks. Its not a modest city. But the problem is someone has overtaken it. London's fireworks this year chewed them up and spat them out.

But, you wouldn't be able to see any of the fire works because they get hidden in the fog...

Sydney has competition. London. Get over yourselves Oz.

They should to come to the London fireworks.....would blow them away...easily now the best in the world. But Sydney looks like a good giggle though!
