The name doesn't actually mean anything. It's a trip word used to teach kids proper grammar in a region of the Netherlands.

^ Good try ; it's indeed sometimes used (more as a game) to teach/test speed of language without stumbling over the pronounciation, though it has nothing to do with grammar , but eeeehhhh, it for sure means something!!:

"Hottentot",= name of member of African tribe. "Hottentotten" = the plural form.
Like in "he/she belongs to the Hottentotten, so he/she is a Hottentot")

"tenten" = tents

"tentoonstelling" = exhibition.

So "Hottentottententententoonstelling" = exhibition of tents from Hottentots (African tribesmen)

Think Hottentots never ever made an exhibition of tents, but that's something else...

(sorry, but being Dutch...... )

@JJ: Congrats on finishing!!!
It looks really nice; when I will have installed LL again I will have a closer look at it.

Yeah, I couldn't read the page because I don't speak Dutch. Oh well. As for not meaning anything, I meant that it didn't mean anything practical or real, as you said yourself that Hottentots didn't have expeditions of tents.

Well.....as I personally don't know any Hottentots, and neither ever saw a tent-exhibition of them advertised anywhere....I assume they don't have them....but who knows?

Anyway you are right that the word does not mean anything practical, and is not used in daily life apart from in those games....but it's a lovely weird word with all those "ten"-things in it while still having a clear meaning........

reminds me of the ridiculous word Frau Casler taught us in german.. don't remeber it, but it was something that involved a government insurance agency for the reimbursement of war widows.

Any language that allows you to repeat the same syllable four times in a row, in the same word, is pure evil.

(Meaning no disrespect, of course.)

Anyway, screens look good, JJ. Don't have LL installed at the moment, though...

At 72 letters, that word passes up the longest English word by 27 letters.

^I'm interested to know what that is...

You know my thoughts on this, mate. Love the wooden coaster, hate the steel one.

^I'm interested to know what that is...

^ it means as much as: "cleaner of the cubicles in which the terrain-watching video camera's are housed... on the "Hottentottententententoonstelling" (and this last one was explained 8 posts above or so)
Every born Dutchman could understand the word (after chewing on it quite a few times!), but it is by far not an "existing" word in the official dictionary or one that is ever used.......only in a game like "who can make up the longest word that is still understandable"

Back to the park: still not installed LL, JJ.
But in your last screen there are some sections with blocky heightened land and a wall around it.
As far as my - minimal - knowledge of LL goes, I thought you are able to landscape very well in LL, so why are these blocky landscape-things? Do they have a function or was that just lazyness....?

Pneumonultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconeosis is the longest English word. Its a diease commonly contracted by miners (of coal I think, not sure and I dont feel like looking it up). I doubt I spelt it right, that was just off the top of my head.

As for the park, while I dont have LL and therefore cant view it, the screens look quite nice.

I meant the longest English word, Emergo

So thank you eman. I had the idea that might have been it (learned the word back in fourth grade) but wasn't sure.

That screen was taken when that part of the park was unfinished. But they have been landscaped and that now, that's just how i build.

Shortened to pneumoconiosis, right? I never knew it was the longest word, cool.
