Firefighters tried to resuscitate her in the park but she was pronounced dead at the scene. Nobody else was hurt.
She was joined by her sister Laurianne, her husband Michael and her mother at the park to celebrate little Allen's birthday.
Speaking to Mirror Online, Laurianne said that Allen had been told his mother had 'gone to heaven'.
'We explained to him that his mum had gone to heaven. He doesn't understand,' she said.

'(Elodie) was an amazing person who brought a lot of love to her family. She was full of life. She was a fighter. Her son was her life.'
She added that the family, from Verneuil-sur-Avre in Normandy, were 'devastated after losing such a beautiful angel.'
Saturday's incident happened at around 1.45pm local time and was witnessed by parents and children, who were left devastated.
An onlooker who was present at the time of Elodie's death said: 'My children wanted to get in the carousel, and we heard screaming, then I saw the lady, who was strong, fall.
'She went over the bar and her husband tried to catch her by the foot.'

Another onlooker added: 'We have seen children feeling sick or crying. Some were at the top when the carousel stopped.'
One witness paid tribute to Elodie on Facebook following the tragic incident. 'It is with great sadness that I just learned about Elodie's death in a terrible carousel accident,' they wrote.
'Our thoughts are with Michael, her companion, and little Allen their child, Laurianne her sister, their whole family and the medieval festival team in Verneuil-sur-Avre.
'Have a nice trip my beautiful, may the angels watch over you.'
In 2009, a 35-year-old woman lost her life on the same ride due to her own 'inappropriate behaviour' and the park was not held responsible, local media reports.
The park's manager Gilles Campion was ordered to pay damages and was handed a suspended four-month prison sentence for two other incidents.
In 2005, the Nacelle rollercoaster broke loose. Four people were seriously injured after it slammed into a metal pole, Le Parisien reports.
A similar incident left 11 people injured a month earlier.
