2015 cornstarch fire incident

On 27 June 2015, flammable powder, which had been sprayed above the visitors, was set alight during an event hosted by an independent marketing firm leasing space at the park.[3][4][5] The incident killed 15 and injured several hundred.[6] In addition, 497 people were injured, many of them seriously.[7] The park closed to facilitate investigations.[8] On 1 March 2017, the Taipei Administrative High Court decided the park could reopen when the court overturned the government order to suspend its license.[9] On 23 June 2019, the demolition of buildings on the site began.[10] After the incident, some of the park's facilities were removed and as of 2022, have not been restored.[11]
