Found this an interesting read.

Never heard about this being actively looked at for other parks? Anyone else? I assume the proliferation of ToT clones will make this unlikely to ever see the light of day (pardon the pun).

Geyser Mountain was never really forgotten by WDI. Instead the concept started its very own tour of all the different Disney theme parks worldwide as it was practically pinned down as an attraction for various locations at certain points: the Disneyland Resort Anaheim has seen this project been talked about first for the area behind their Big Thunder Mountain (in the Festival of Fools Arena/Big Thunder Barebeque area) inside Disneyland and then for a slot in the “Golden State/Grizzly peek” section of DCA, before the latest word came out which indicates that right now it is considered again for the area behind the Big Thunder Mountain in Disneyland. Walt Disney World has had this attraction talked about for a replacement to Tom Sawyer Island or some other location in the Frontierland of the Magic Kingdom just as well as some place in the Animal Kingdom even so the later would have to be combined with a little bit of rethemeing.

And the Disneyland Resort Paris? ….the Geyser Mountain idea is not completely dead! ….in the 1987 agreement Disney and France signed to get EuroDisney underway certain deadlines and obligations were included which have to be met in order for the company not to lose the right to build on certain parcels of land ... and one of these obligations is 3 (t-h-r-e-e) themeparks operating by 2017. Consider this: the hot rumour for the themeing of the eventual third gate is set around “the forces of nature” - and the Geyser Mountain concept art and model is still in store at the archive of EuroDisney
