However, after a year of hiatus, the festival, unfortunately, met obstacles when it came to the faulty ride. The annual Cherry Festival in Michigan wasn't held in 2020 and was postponed until July 2021. Injury could have occurred had the ride gone out of control, but thanks to the fast-acting bystanders, the ride avoided any type of collapse, nor were any passengers on the 'magic carpet' injured. To everyone's relief, their efforts worked, and the Cherry Festival avoided what could have been a Thursday night full of anything but fun. Thankfully, other fairgoers quickly rushed to hang on the ride's gate in an attempt to use their collective body weight to keep the ride from falling over. The base of the ride was rocking unsteadily when others at the festival noticed the faulty amusement ride. As the ride went up and down, it looked as though the front became unhooked and was going to fall over backward. As the pendulum ride loosened from its base, other fairgoers scrambled to keep the ride from toppling over. On July 8, 2021, riders of the 'magic carpet' at the Cherry Festival avoided a catastrophe. Events took an unexpected turn when one 'magic carpet' ride in Traverse City, Michigan, came loose from its base. Lots of people love to ride rides at the fairgrounds, and many are even amusement park enthusiasts, but those who avoid amusement park rides have a reason to back them up after one almost went terribly wrong.
