On Sunday 25 August 2024, the Ville de Luxembourg confirmed that five people had to be rescued from the Top Scan ride at the Schueberfouer ride on Saturday afternoon.

Following what was described as "a minor technical incident" that occurred around 17:30, five people were temporarily stuck on the fairground attraction.

Following what was described as the rapid intervention of the City services and the fairground workers, the ride was quickly restarted, allowing all passengers to disembark safely. No injuries were reported, and the passengers were taken care of immediately after disembarking.

The city has confirmed that an investigation was initiated to determine the causes of this incident; in the meantime, the ride remains closed until such time as the Luxcontrol inspection body issues a favourable opinion following its site visit to enable it to reopen.
