Michael Eisner, ex-CEO of The Walt Disney Company, credited Space Mountain: De la Terre à la Lune and its creator, Imagineer Tim Delaney, as the savior of Disneyland Paris. This island features some elements from Discovery Mountain (for example the ride Journey to the Center of the Earth or the Nautilus ride). However, in 2001, Tokyo DisneySea opened, featuring Mysterious Island, a recreation of Vulcania Island from the movie 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.

This was due to low hotel occupancy, low guest spending and lower attendance than projected, partly due to the colder winter weather-in sharp contrast to Tokyo Disneyland, which sees crowds year-round regardless of the weather. In addition, the resort had encountered a loss of millions of French francs in its first three years of operations.
