I thought it was cool too!
Dined there last month for the first time, unfortunately, the restaurant was not revolving on that day. Liked the food and enjoyed it, nonetheless. :)
It was cool also because I never even thought that there might be a way to create a fan that didn't require labor or electricity to wave back and forth. I wonder where they came up with that thing. I wonder if it really worked, I'd guess it required a pretty steady wind or if it was just a thing put by a window that never really existed in real life.

It is just a toy windmill that served no other purpose than for the blade to spin in the wind. Do a google search on "whirligig" and you will find hundreds of examples.

I think you are correct. What I am most curious about though is what are they looking at?
That's actually the part that has me second-guessing my answer. It's not like there'd be a parade float passing through there, or anything tall. Maybe it's something in the sky, like a helicopter or something crazy like one of the rocket launches from Cape Canaveral?

To be painfully honest, I didn't really care enough to research. Even as a toy, if it caused, like a whirligig, to have movement on the other end, (windmills are used to power lots of things) then it is a pretty clever thing to use as a fan. If it was nothing that was ever used to circulate air inside a building, than it was pretty clever of the imagineer to even imagine it to be used in the attraction as such. A still photo makes it impossible to see if it was rigged to actually work, but still not a bad idea for the time frame.
