About this listen
It was supposed to be the party of the summer.
Thousands of young people had gathered under the neon lights and pounding bass of the “Color Play Asia” festival at Formosa Fun Coast Water Park, just outside New Taipei City. Music thumped, colored powder danced through the air, and laughter echoed beneath the open sky. It was carefree. Vibrant. Electric.
And then, in an instant, hell erupted.
A fireball tore through the crowd like a wave of flame, engulfing bodies, setting skin alight, and turning a night of celebration into one of Taiwan’s worst mass casualty disasters.
Nearly 500 people, most of them in their teens and twenties, were severely burned. Some were burned alive. The aftermath left families shattered, a nation horrified, and a haunting question that still lingers: how could something so preventable become so deadly?
This is the story of corporate negligence, ignored warnings, and the deadly price of entertainment gone wrong.
This is The New Taipei Water Park Fire.
