Take a look at some real-life chain returns, the chain always goes into a chain motor at the bottom of the lift. On B&M coasters, the chain enters a gearbox mounted directly below the track, which contains the motor. See this picture to see what I mean.

I'm assuming the steeplechase under the steel twister is supposed to be a chain return, but why could it curve like that?

Oblivion at Alton Towers has a curved chain (presumably with a curved return) on its first turn, but that chain is separate from the lift hill chain.
