National Historic District
Sal debuted at Kennywood in 1931 as a free attraction in front of the Laff in the Dark. It was during the Great Depression and provided some of the best medicine available in that sad period-Laughs.
When the ride was razed in 1965 to make room for the Turnpike, Sal went into retirement-in a storage bin.
But life began again in her 40's and she has been laughing ever since.
