In a statement, the park said lifeguards gave the boy mouth-to-mouth resuscitation after the incident on Sunday, before he was taken by ambulance to Thalang hospital about eight kilometres away.
"Sadly, he could not be revived," the park said.
"The landing pool area is strictly for those coming down the slides. There are highly-trained lifeguards positioned at the bottom of the slides to watch people coming down for the purpose of ensuring their safety.
"His parents are understandably devastated and we continue to offer our support in any way possible. We are all deeply upset by this extremely sad incident."
