The boy is being treated at Leeds General Infirmary after being injured in the incident at Lightwater Valley Theme Park near Ripon on Thursday (30 May).
He was treated at the scene, with what was initially believed at to be non-life threatening injuries, and airlifted to hospital where his condition was later described as stable but critical.
