SAN DIEGO (KGTV) - 10News confirmed Thursday that a ride from the San Diego County Fair was made by the same manufacturer linked to a deadly ride in Ohio, and is now shut down in Orange County.

The ride, which is called "G Force", was taken to the Orange County Fair from Del Mar, according to an Orange County Fairgrounds spokesperson.

The ride is one of six operated in California that was built by KMG, a manufacturer in Holland. Another includes "La Revólucion" at Knott's Berry Farm.
