What is so special about Hadrons ?

They're made of smaller things.

Are there other particles on the menu to be collided too ?

For the most part, no. Electrons for instance are not thus accelerated, although it seems capable of it.

How do they store the particles ?....are they kept in a test tube or something ?

Everything is made of them, so it is simply a matter of isolating them (from Hydrogen say) and then sending em down the pipe.

How many particles are fired at one time ?

Hundreds of billions (of protons, which are hadrons) per beam, and multiple beams.  I've heard a thousand times that figure, so not sure if there are thousands of beams or they can make some beams more dense.
