Looking at this video it looks like that for a 5 level spiral it would use 35 3" piers along with what looks like 2 or 3 3/4" piers. In this version they don't use the A/B rising curves but 40 curved rails. In my opinion not using the A/B risers the trains climb and descent more smoothly as the A & B curves have flats on them. I may have counted wrong so I could be corrected.
So my rudimentary math head thinks that for an 18 level spiral going up and one going down for a continuous ride would take approx 288 3" piers and 288 curves. You could save by using a Plarail U turn at the top and one at the bottom but you would have to created so king of rigging to hold it up on top.
I do remember seeing a video of a floor to ceiling tower possibly two, before, it may have been from a former member and good friend who is no longer with us and his immense collection of videos seems to be gone.
