   The filings were required as part of the company's financing of the $1.9 billion acquisition of the entire Six Flags chain, said James F. Dannhauser, chief financial officer of Premier Parks. Six Flags Over Georgia is valued at $250 million, according to filings.
   
   Oklahoma-based Premier Parks bought part or all of 12 Six Flags parks on April 1 from Time Warner Entertainment and an investor group led by Boston Ventures. In the deal, Premier got a share of ownership in Six Flags Over Georgia, as well as management responsibilities for the Georgia park.
   
   Six Flags Over Georgia, which opened in 1967, drew 2.8 million visitors in 1997. That number was up 27 percent from 1996, when attendance was hurt by the Olympic Games, according to the trade magazine Amusement Business.

   Dannhauser, the Premier CFO, said the company will make improvements but gave few details.
   
   "I think you will see us continue to add rides and attractions and continue to improve the product offering," he said.
   
   The company's exclusive concentration on the theme park business should create operating efficiencies, and allow it to focus "more acutely" on entertaining and serving customers, Dannhauser said.
   
   "You'll see us be able to deliver more entertainment product for our invested dollar," he said.
   
   Under the management accords, Premier may be able to buy a larger ownership stake in Six Flags Over Georgia between now and 2026. During that time, Premier will offer to buy up to $50 million in shares from the limited partners.
   
   In 2026, Premier may acquire all of Six Flags Over Georgia.
   
   In addition to its stake in Six Flags Over Georgia, Premier acquired 100 percent of nine Six Flags parks in the April 1 deal.
