Pleasing Tourists
"Naturally, since Corythosaurus and Edmontosaurus are friends, you can put them together to thrill the fun lovers visiting your park. You can also stick them in the same pen as Gallimimus, Homalocephale and Parasaurolophus, since all these dinosaurs Pleasing Tourists are herbivores. Mainstream tourists probably won't give a hoot about the Corythosaurus, unless you attract them with multiple dinos in the pen. Thrill seekers are the opposite extreme. They don't want to see the Corythosaurus playing with other dinosaurs; they want to see the Corythosaurus eaten by other dinosaurs. Be prepared to go through a lot of Corythosaurus to please the thrill seekers. For best results, match them with Albertosaurus, Tyrannosaurus, or Velociraptor carnivores. This will also please the dino nerds who only want to see dinosaurs from the same time period together, in this case, the late Cretaceous period."

Sexual Dimorphism
Despite not having official confirmation, at some point in development, just like as Styracosaurus, Corythosaurus had a drastically different skin texture earlier, with shades of light grey, purple, yellow and red. It's unclear if that skin was just scrapped in favor of the yellow and dark red one, or if it was intentional sexual dimorphism.
