I think it's being substantially underestimated just how involved, and therefore costly, it would be to add a block zone to this coaster, assuming the existing track isn't already long enough to add one just by adding the necessary hardware, which doesn't seem to be the case.
Adding a block zone would then of course require additional track length, which would therefore require there to be substantial excess energy/speed as the train hits the existing brake run in the worst conditions - cold, empty train, headwind, etc. It's hard to tell if that's the case with this coaster.
