Alright stop collaborate and listen, Ice is back… for a Busch Gardens show that’s included with admission. Yes, I know that reciting all of “Ice, Ice Baby” is unimpressive, but I can also replicate all of the beatboxing and Michael Winslow-esque robot noises in Mr. Ice’s lesser-known song “Havin’ a Roni” (which is not about food, by the way).
Either way, 53-year-old Robert Van Winkle—who was apparently at Armature Works in January—is taking a break from his DIY Network gig back in Tampa this weekend, so bust out your one-sided overalls and some old-school melodies from one of Donald Trump Jr.’s favorite rappers.
The show is socially-distanced with limited spots available. If you want a guaranteed spot, you can buy a separate VIP ticket for $39.99—it comes with a five-item sampler lanyard.
Busch Gardens Food and Wine Festival: Vanilla Ice. Sunday, March 28, 7 p.m. Included with admission. buschgardens.com
