They ditched the spiral staircase (I'm thinking it was when they developed the 747-400, but don't quote me on that - it may have been earlier). It seems some passengers had difficulty navigating the spiral staircase so they went with a more conventional straight staircase.
While the spiral staircase looked cool, as I've gotten older and less nimble, I've grown to appreciate the wisdom of that change
