Batman: The Ride

Now that they’re coming up with completely new ways to terrify us and make us sick, I’m kind of glad that I gave up roller coasters years ago. This is to introduce you to the new Batman: The Ride at Six Flags Fiesta Texas in San Antonio. Sure, it’s a roller coaster, but one of those newfangled ones that can travel both above and below the rails, depending on the angle. Not only that, but each seating unit swivels on its axis! How does it work? Magnets. That's a big nope for me.

See it from all points of view: the riders’ faces, the riders’ POV, and long shots that are the scariest, because you see what’s really happening. Oh, and if you have long hair, you might want to pack an elastic to keep it in place. -via Geekologie

(NH4)2Cr2O7 is Ammonium dichromate which is sometimes called "Vesuvian Fire" as it was commonly used to simulate a volcanic eruption. I remember building ing a plaster of paris volcano model and making it erupt in my 6th grade class (circa 1967--yeah, I'm old)
The other compound is Mercury(II) thiocyanate (Hg(SCN)2) AKA "Pharoah's Serpent" It used to be used in fireworks because of its black-snake effect. However, it isn't readily available anymore because it is toxic.
