They may stop on this side of the 'out' and start with the return. But, more than likely, they will make room for the crane as it doesn't need much space, or they might just use one of the small white and black cranes which can reach the smaller hills.
Edit: I looked at the layout of the ride. It appears that after the turnaround, the large crane can do the entire turnaround (D), plus the upside of the next hill (E) with no problem. Then, the smaller crane could do the last third of that hill(E) and bottom of the sixth hill (F) and turn into the MCBR. The large crane could finish that hill (F), but I would think the small crane would. Next, the small crane could do part of the ascent into the MCBR (G). After that, the large crane would have no space issues, but I would think the small cranes would finish the ride since it is very low to the ground.
